David Horne Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Today Elizabeth Horne nearly fully bent a Grade 5 bolt. She got it to 90 degrees. Next time. http://www.davidhorne-gripmaster.com/Train...grade5bolt.html Also my 15 year old son Alexander fully bent his Grade 5 bolt in under a minute. He then kinked a Grade 8! http://www.davidhorne-gripmaster.com/Train...grade5bolt.html Just very pleased for them. They are training hard and the rewards are coming all the time!

bencrush Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Awesome bending from both of them! Elizabeth will take her place soon as the best female bender walking the planet. And your son has got to be up there for one of the best at his age too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Horne Posted January 25, 2007 Author Share Posted January 25, 2007 UPDATE 25 jan 2007 Elizabeth Horne becomes the first woman to bend a Grade 5 bolt Elizabeth fully bent a grade 5 today, after her close attempt yesterday. It took about 10 mins, so outside the FBBC time zone. Also my phone run out of camera memory so I only have first 5 mins on video. I think she'll do it under 5 mins next time. Thanks, David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Horne Posted January 29, 2007 Author Share Posted January 29, 2007 29 Jan 07 Alex had a go at the 5" Grade 5 today and got it to 85 degrees. He said he didn't hit it hard enough at the beginning, and also his technique was a bit sloppy at times. Another day it will fall.

David Horne Posted February 7, 2007 Author Share Posted February 7, 2007 Well yesterday Alex blasted two 6" nails taped together in 12 seconds. So he had a go at a Grade 8 x 6" bolt. He bent the Grade 8 x 6" bolt to 50 degrees! A great start, and surely it will fall in a few weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
